How to fit the collar?
Do not fasten the collar too tightly. You should be able to place two fingers under the collar when fastened. I t is important that your dog feels comfortable when the collar is on, and different collar types suit different breeds of dog. For example a "round" sewn dog collar is particular good for long- haired breeds of dog, and a soft air-cushion collar useful for older dogs or for ones prone to irritation around the neck area.
